My condolences to the family on Mr Stiegler's passing. Please find comfort in his journey seeking life everlasting through Christ. He was always a gentleman to myself and my family. Certainly, he was a fine example to us all on how to respect each other in life. I pray he shoots scratch golf on God's golf course.

My dear cousins, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. The recent family wedding was a blessing in so many ways--uniting not only a lovely couple, but allowing 3 older siblings and some random nieces and nephews to spend cherished time together with a beloved brother and uncle. He seemed to enjoy showing Toodie and me old pictures he took as we ate a breakfast of biscuits- (he baked) followed by a piece of his favorite lemon meringue pie! I will cherish the stories of my mom as told to me by her "big brother". I am so grateful for that extra time spent with the uncle who could always illicit the cry of "UNCLE" while he kneaded my knuckles together... I always gave in! He had a very blessed life and I am so thankful for that!
